Kris Reid Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 6 weeks to go.. Who else can we suggest for Rockness to try and book? Below I have made some suggestions... Sub Focus is touring alongside Pendulum,perhaps he could make an appearance at Dores? All of the below have played at Annie Mac Presents events before and seem to have some dates available: DJ Zinc Jack Beats Fake Blood ( TITP I know...) Riva Starr Herve Count & Sinden Skream Digitalism making a return, could be a possibility? They are are playing in Aberdeen and Edinburgh at the end of May. Diplo and Major Lazer are playing together this summer with no dates in June. A-Trak doesn't seem to be doing many gigs but Fools Gold Tours have a gap in June though which would be a unique addition along with Jokers of the Scene etc. Breakbot is part of the Ed Rec crew, maybe he might tag along to play before Club 75? Carte Blanche - Dj Mehdi is going to be there anyway for Club 75... Riton can join him? Foals - They have a gap between Rock am Ring and Glastonbury.. We Were Promised Jetpacks - TBC? Brodinski - Has a gap in June Jesse Rose - TBC? We all have to realise that Rockness has a limited budget as it is only a few years old. However, I don't think its unrealistic for at least a couple of the names above to booked this year. Anyone got any other suggestions? Not long now though until the best weekend of the year !

rexclark Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm pretty sure I won't have heard of any of the acts yet to be announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbear Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm still holding out for Brodinski. Possibly Villa, Reset and Grum. They would fit into the small act category i would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Reid Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Nah they're too big to be announced this late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleski Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 They're not that big... but I dont think it is very likely as an addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbear Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 They're only the biggest name in dubstep right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleski Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 They are the Club 75 of dubstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pothead pixie Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Yeh Magnetic Man headlined the third largest tent at Electric Picnic on Sunday night last year, so they are fairly big, maybe well be lucky and we,ll get half, either Skream or Benga.

Winston Smith Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hardly, considering how big dubstep is getting. Get 3 of the biggest dubstep artists at the moment and stick the together, clearly going to be a massive act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Reid Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 We dont need anyone else, why do you need more for the line up, are you not satisfied with whats been announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pothead pixie Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Don't get me wrong, there is a few acts in their that I am really looking forward to and the festival in general seems to be shaping up pretty nicely. But theres no doubt that there is still quite a bit to be announced.Particularly for Annie Mac presents on Saturday and there are still acts to be announced for the Afterburner. I am sure there are still names to be added on Friday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachbon Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) i'm not really bothered who else is announced now. there's already plenty on the line up i want to see. five weeks and four days to go!!

pothead pixie Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) I think Bat for Lashes could still be a possible addition, maybe an early afternoon or evening spot, although they should be as big as Florence and the Machine. But as yet BFL are not headlining material as such yet, but would be a good addition. Other stuff could be Peg and the Bouffants,a local Dundee band with a punk and ska style and Night Noise Team a local indie pop band from Edinburgh.
